Beautiful whimsical wild garden flowers are blooming in the garden in this original acrylic painting. Do you love discovering what new blossoms have appeared today? I know I do.

This is a painting of some of my favorite blooms. Find butterfly bush, hollyhocks, columbine, teasel and trout lily are just a few. I chose acrylics on canvas with ink. This painting is much like my watercolors which is a big favorite.

New garden watercolor illustration ready for spring.

Spring garden flowers with bees and butterfly hand painted in this botanical art original by Laurie Rohner. The colors I chose for this painting range from creamy Daffodil yellows to Crocus purples with spring greens and soft Violet blues in the mix. Notice the bee tucked in the daffodil and a lazy butterfly on the leaf oh and don’t miss the that other bee heading back to the hive, I guess. There is a hint of blue skies.

Botanical garden original watercolor painting, iris garden flower nature art hand painted by Laurie Rohner is a detailed watercolor painting titled Botanical Peach Iris. Botanical watercolor painting of a Garden Iris is detailed realism of a bi-colored botanical garden flower, painted in my unique style of glazing. The painting has up to 10 layers of pigment. The surface of the paper appears is luminescent and opaque, a quality I admire. Unfortunately a photo is not capable of expressing the dramatic effect I achieve with this method.

I painted the poplar wood a lovely shade of the softest creamy gray taupe white. I love this base color.

To compliment the color I decided to use a subtle simple design with greens and white flowers that cascade down the front. The botanical woodland flowers are from hydrangea to Queen Ann’s Lace and Lily of the Valley.

The design is sketched on my hand crafted wood keepsake box. I hand paint and add my signature line work. Each box is a one of a kind work.

Botanical watercolor painting of a Garden Iris is detailed realism of a bi-colored botanical garden flower, painted in my unique style of glazing. The painting has up to 10 layers of pigment. The surface of the paper radiates with a luminescent opaque appearance a quality I admire. Unfortunately a photo is not capable of expressing the dramatic effect I achieve with this method.

I paint using a process called glazing. It is layering pigments down on top of each other building depth of pigment and emotion through color. The process is labor and time intensive. This painting took about 56hrs to complete. There are about 10 layers of pigment on this painting.

Nature is always changing and revealing new and wonderful images that capture my heart and attention. As an artist it is my intention to share those images with my nature art. I have added two miniature oil paintings below of botanical garden flowers that happen to be from my garden. I think these make beautiful thoughtful gifts for any mother who loves flowers and art.

Botanical garden flowers is an original oil painting of a Pale Blue Iris by Laurie Rohner. The artwork is original and painted on a panel.

The iris I painted here was almost white but had a blue hue about it. I love the feel you get from the wild bush strokes and color placement. Simple shabby chic artwork makes a nice addition for Farmhouse Cottages.

The iris is probably my favorite of flowers due to their range of differences. The shapes and colors of the petals and how the shadows cast intricate designs absolutely fascinate my painterly senses.

Take the worthiness that is yours, and let the “Fairies of the Universe” assist you. Stop taking so much responsibility upon yourself, and live happily ever after. Shorten that crevasse between where you are and where you want to be, on every subject, to now, now, now, now, now. Ride the wave. Just pluck the fruit… You don’t have to be the one who puts it in the ground any more. You can just skip across the top of things and pluck the fruit of all of the things you want. “Oh, fruit. Oh, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this.” In other words, it’s all right there for you; it’s ready for you to receive it as fast and as soon as you will vibrationally let it in. —Abraham
